So a few hours ago I'm I'm bed vaping with am I taste MBP 2.0 and an I clear 30B with a 2.1 or 2.0 ohm coil. Anyways I just woke up and went to take a pull and I got nothing. The ohm meter reads "NON" which means there's no coil to read. ...?

So I put a diferentntank on and no problems. It pulls fine. So I flip the 30B upside down and I pull the coil and it looks ok so I screw it back in. Only problem is I almost feels like the threadings stripped or something cause I think I can eel it gets pretty snug, and then it just kinda breaks free a little and I can just keep turning it.

By the way I was also gaping a much higher wattagenthan usual. It was either 9 or 10.

I put it back togethe r and it still reads NON. I dontnthink it came with a spare cooo?. Please help this I one of my favorite tanks now! Thanks in advance!

I've only ever burned out, or "popped", one coil, and that was back when I used an eGo C. I could tell almost immediately, I got this big burst of a nasty flavor akin to a dry hit, then nothing. I doubt your coil decided to commit suicide while you were sleeping, though. It sounds like it may not be making a connection with your mod. Do you have another mod you can try it on, like a mech with an adjustable center pin? Or if you have a multimeter you can check the resistance or for continuity.

Schuff you were absolutely right. I piled it all apart one last time and put me very thing together nice and tight and voila! 2.1 ohms! By the way I really wanna try some lower on coils for this thing when I haven the money. Thanks for the super fast replies you two!

It happens all the time from constantly putting pressure on the center pin. The o-ring underneath of the center pin gets smushed down.

If it ever starts happening all the time go to Lowes and get a #60 size washer from the plumbing department. You just have to pull the old o-ring out with micro screwdriver / tweezers. Cut one part of the new one and get it under the center pin. It's not too hard. I do it for customers all the time.
